the UHM students will get out of fee. Has copies of revenue and expenses sheets from the athletic advisor report. Scan and send them to Hoomano to send out or

post on website.

y Shanna Sam is heading up a group for caucus

y Hoomano Manoa football is not a system team theybelong to UHM. Some

students have thought they receive student discountbecause it was system sports.

The student price was a privilege and taken away when athletic fee was enforced.

We cant do anything about athletic fee but we can ask that they reinstate student discount and if not maybe we can get some kind of discount if not $5 fee.

taken away.Apologize wasnt thinking about all students but does support this

8/3/2019 10-005 Minutes (01-22-11)


motion. It might be something that caucus will have to really f ight for. We need to

bring up that if students cant afford they wont go at all so you will lose money

anyways.

- Kanoe How does this benef it the neighbor islands?

- Shanna Athletic director is trying to f ill up the seats in the stadium you pay the fee

and can attend for free all athletic events.

- Colin school spirit and school pride is a big thing and should be addressed in the letter. - Hoomano-Not sure how f ar the negotiating will go. Not saying this should be in the

letter but we might have to negotiate the price and discount to accommodate all

parties involved.

- Allan Given the benef it of the doubt is there anything that anyone can think of that they overlooked the student discount price removal.

- Sharain The fee would replace previous policy. Not sure why it wasnt part of the

policy.

- Colin They didnt listen to their own campus so doesnt surprise me that they didnt

approach the other campuses.

- Karen They didnt overlook the rest of the system, they f ully knew what they were

doing. They are in charge of Manoa and can impose the fee on Manoa students.

- Karen Letter should be addressed to Manoa Chancellor andCod to all others. - Colin Will draft the letter and spearhead this andhave the draft within the next week.

- Hoomano will be voted on via e-mail.
